"Emerald Green Lawn and Landscape, LLC Look no further! Emerald Green Lawn and Landscape, LLC is truly the best you will ever need! For years Iâ ve done my own landscape maintenance, everything from mulching, trimming all my Azaleas, Rhododendrons, trees etc. I just couldnâ t do it anymore. We hired Shane last fall to remove our leaves from our property. We loved the job his crew did so much we hired Shane a week ago for our landscape maintenance. Believe me, our landscape was in dire need. Everything was so overgrown. When I tried trimming all our bushes and trees, I just made a mess. We knew we made the right choice by going with Emerald Green. Their service is incredible. Their people are awesome. Shane is extremely friendly and professional. He answers all your questions, returns phone calls immediately and told us â weâ re here to do it right.â Shane and his crew are the best, EVER! They worked two straight days pulling weeds, raking all the old mulch off (a whole trailer filled to the top), added new mulch (50+ bags (3 cubic ft) of cypress mulch all around our landscape, trimmed 8 Azalea bushes, trimmed 3 overgrown Rhododendron bushes, trimmed our Weeping Cherry tree and our Magnolia tree, to perfection! They worked very conscientiously and very professionally - I have a large perennial garden and they carefully raked all the old mulch off with care and worked the new mulch into and all around the perennials as if it was theirs. It looks awesome! Overall, I canâ t say enough about the excellent experience we had with Emerald Green Landscape from beginning to end. My husband and I are extremely pleased with their work. When all was completed weâ ve gotten so many compliments, and couldnâ t be happier. Emerald Green Lawn and Landscape, LLC knew what they were doing and get an A++ from me! You wonâ t be sorry!!! It is a pleasure writing this review - we highly recommend Shane Magers and his wonderful crew. You ll never find any better! A special shout out to Ant and Dre for all their hard work to make our landscape beautiful!!! Kudos to the both of you!!! Peggy and Keith"

"He did EXCELLENT. My garden had not been touch in probably ten years. He got it together, cleaned it up nicely and now I am ready to grow veggies. He cleaned up everything around my home, cut down trees and bushes and made it look clean and beautiful. He took my property value up by probably 15-20k by doing what he did. I will use him every time. Thank you!"

"Inside Out has maintained my lawn for multiple years with exceptional care. Since they started, my lawn has never looked so good! The crew has taken on a number of other landscaping projects, and what ever they have taken on, the results have always exceeded my expectations.. I’ve referred them to friends, and my friends needs were also well taken care of. The business owner is likable, knowledable, and cares about his customers. I highly recommend InsideOut!"

"We received an almost immediate response to our search on a Saturday morning, and the came just a couple of hours later. We had two heavy pieces of furniture removed; a queen sofa bed, and a reclining loveseat. They lifted those out of the house and they were careful around walls and doorways. We will definitely use this company again!"

"Finding a reliable and trustworthy landscaping company is difficult. Shane and his crew fulfilled my quest. They undertook a project to cleanup a yard and shrub beds after nearly two years of neglect. Other landscaping companies base their quotes on requested photos. Shane took the time to personally walk the property with me and take notes on details. Additionally, he followed up with progress inspections, as the work progressed. His crew was polite, professional and hard working. I was totally satisfied with their performance on a very challenging project."

Topsoil costs from $12 to $55 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. For example, screened black dirt will cost about $15 per cubic yard. Loam (soil composed of sand, silt, and clay) costs about $17 per cubic yard. Standard screened topsoil costs about $20 per cubic yard. The type of topsoil you need depends on your landscaping plans.
Mulch costs anywhere from $30 to $150 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. On the inexpensive end, red and black mulch are about $35 to $40 per cubic yard, and are typically made from recycled waste wood like shredded old pallets or deck material. Cedar, cypress, and rubber mulch cost anywhere from $100 to $120 per cubic yard. A pro can help you determine the type of mulch most suitable for your landscaping needs.
Topsoil should go down first. If the topsoil is next to your house, make sure the grade slopes away from the house to keep water from pooling against your foundation and possibly leaking into your basement or crawl space. Don’t cover your decorative landscape mulch with topsoil as that defeats the purpose of laying down the mulch. If you’re trying to create a certain soil composition to improve plant growth, you’ll likely want compost mixed into the topsoil instead of mulch. Over time, any decorative wood mulch will simply decompose under the topsoil.
No, mulch itself does not necessarily attract termites even though it’s usually made of shredded wood. Some types of mulch like cedar or cypress resist termites because they’re toxic or unappetizing to the wood munchers. However, when the mulch is deep enough, say three inches or more, it creates a perfect habitat for insects of all kinds to build nests.
Although it’s not required to lay anything under mulch, it can help to put landscape fabric or plastic weed barrier down and lay mulch on top. The barrier helps keep weeds from growing up through your mulch. It also helps keep rodents and insects from burrowing into the ground underneath.
